Reaming of drainage holes should be taken up in the Cheruthoni dam of the Idukki reservoir to ensure the smooth flow of seepage water from the structure, Dam Safety Authority chairman C.N. Ramachandran Nair has said.
After visiting the Cheruthoni dam and the Idukki arch dam on Friday, he said that reaming was conducted in the Idukki arch dam in 2014 and there was no variation in the seepage water levels from the Idukki and the Cheruthoni dams.
Reaming needed to be done to ensure the health of the dams. There was no issues in the Idukki arch dam and it was functioning smoothly, he said.
